Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways. As a scientist at New York University . Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market. One of these was the so-called frown (皱眉)headband. Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal. Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see .Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but youre not familiar with the dishes on the menu. If you are weanng a pair of Stevens glasses . all yau have to do is glance above the restaurans doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Tntemet, offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches,give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors withpatient information while they carry out operations.

(B) One of the main challenges facing many coutries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that,with a few important exceptions,mother-tongue 英语试题A第6页(共12页)education is not practiced in any of the independent African states. said Neville Alexander.Dutctor of the Project for the Study of Aitemative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town. In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from Immigration . many countries have inuoduced language laws in the laws in the last decade .In some ,the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaccs such as advertsing posters. One of the first such legal proviaions was the 1994 Toubon law in France. but the idea hs been copied in many counuics since then. Such efrorts to govern language use are oftendismisscd as futile by language experts . who are well aware of the difficulty of controlling fashions in specch and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process. It is especiaLly difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the purity of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare . English has continually absorbedforeign words into its own language. EngLish is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world. But the has not been a barrier to acquiring prestige and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of state regulation is that it bas never been the Aryllo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlledautharity for the language, similar, for example . to the Academie Francaise in France. The need to prorect national languages is . for most western Europeans. a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields.Public communication, educauon and new modcs of communication promoted by technology,may be key fields to defend.46. Neville Alexander believes that . A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries B. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure C. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trends D. globalization has resulted in the econonuc failure of Africa47 . The underlined word futile (in paragraph 2) most probably means A. useless B. pracucal C. workable D. unnccessary48. Why do many English-speaking; cuuntries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage? A. They think language protection laws are ineffective. B. They want their language to spread to other countries. C. They have a long history of taking words from other languages. D. It reduces a languages ability tO acquire intenatiunal importance. 英语试题A 第7页（共12页）49.what can we infer from the last paragraph? A.
